OK, I see. Sorry for the confusion.  The default keybindings are made
in the backend FigureManager classes.  All of the examples you
referenced embed matplotlib in a wx app.  The ones that use the
FigureManagerWX (eg embedding_in_wx.py) have the default key bindings;
the ones that don't use FigureManagerWX (eg embedding_in_wx2.py), do
not.  If you don't use the manager, you have to do the bindings you
want yourself.  Eg, in embedding_in_wx2.py

        self.axes.plot(t,s)
        self.canvas = FigureCanvas(self, -1, self.figure)

        def toggle_grid(event):
            self.axes.grid()
            self.canvas.draw()
        self.canvas.mpl_connect('key_press_event', toggle_grid)

Hope this helps,
